Course Description:

Core stability is the new lucrative trend in the Rehab and Sports Industry but what is the actual core according to the new evidence? What are the anatomical integrations of muscle, fascia, neural and the emotional components that are involved in efficient trunk stability? Why are our patients tight, stiff or collapsing? Why are so many of our athletes in significant dysfunction? This seminar is heavily evidence based on multiple theories on the core and the overriding affects of the global muscle groups, the latest studies on respiration and the diaphragm and its far-ranging effects on the trunk. Dysfunction of the respiratory complex, trunk muscular imbalances, muscular inhibition and weakness, myofascial restrictions, all have significant effects on posture and trunk stability.

Multiple lab videos in this seminar will deal with muscle length evaluations, core evaluation, respiratory facilitation and a functional core training program that can be utilized with heavily involved patients right up to and including performance athletes.
This seminar will enable the student to connect the negative effects of dysfunction of the diaphragm and the dysfunctional core to specific pathologies and generate answers on the management of these pathologies.
